Episode notes

If your organization keeps hiring external folks into rolls that you want, those are cues that you want to pay attention to and make sure you're not stagnating. One of the areas that i don't think women tend to look out for as much as i their male counterparts do is when they are assigned a new position or role or project,. Do they make the assessment of, have they been set up for success? And so to this point around, using that actually as an advantage, if you are offered a new role, a new position, to really take a step back before accepting and negotiating what you can in order to be successful.

Once you’ve committed to a leadership role — formally and officially or simply in your mind and heart — getting everyone else at work to buy in requires relationship management. How do you successfully shift the role you’re playing on your team? What sorts of conversations help clear the way? Which steps shouldn’t you skip? Is this transformation harder to make over Zoom?

To address these questions, we revisit a 2019 interview with two leadership development experts — essential listening for any woman who’s ready to step up — and share an update on how their advice applies in the context of remote and hybrid work.

Guest experts:

Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins are the founders of the executive coaching and leadership development firm Paravis Partners. They co-wrote the book Own the Room, and Amy is the author of The Leader You Want to Be. Muriel hosts the HBR Presents podcast Coaching Real Leaders.
